Option to alter view of conversations in Messages gone

As per the title, in Mavericks you were able to alter the way that conversations displayed in Messages, you had a choice of three options via the View menu. In Yosemite, that option in the menu has gone and the only way to view conversations is the speech bubbles look á la iOS, I preferred one of the other views when viewing Messages on a desktop .

for the Points
It does seem that the general push to make the OS more like iOS does lead to this situation where something that worked and was understood no longer fits that criteria.
I think most people would understand that a Computer version of something is capable of offering more.
In Messages (and ichat before that) you used to be able to Format Text chats. ( It is still possible, to a lesser extent that earlier versions, but you have to go to System Preferences > Accessibility and Reduce Transparency then Restart Messages) The standard Preferences Pane and Format Menu have been removed.
The iOS version can apply any sound that is on the iPhone or iPad to a particular Contact when they "call " in various apps.
This is no longer possible in Messages on the Mac.
It does seem that in an attempt to streamline various interfaces to match the two OS versions that functions are being withdrawn.

View in conversation option is lost

Hi all
I have lost my view in conversation option.
I can see the option on old emails but not on new ones.
Is that because of an upgrade?
how can I get it back?
Thanks
Alberto

I experience this also sometimes (whatsapp), is this a bug??
sometimes when a person writes 2-3 messages in a row (for instance) in whatsapp (im in standby mode), it sometimes only displayes ONE message in lock screen mode (though he/she wrote more than 1), and sometimes shows the right corresponding written messages!
Why is this?
its really annoyoing when you get messages in lock screen mode BUT it doesnt stay and remain so you notice it. That way you get missed messages etc and notices it first...when doing the "pull-down list".
FIX THIS

How can i view the conversations in my messages? the screen is blank after i send and receive., how can i view the conversations in my messages? the screen is blank after i send and receive.

i cannot view the messages that i send and receive. usually i can view the conversation but now it's empty. what settings do i need to change?

The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon. i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer. On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented. On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures. On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file. I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work. I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon? (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
Cheers.

Notification bug when "View in Lock Screen" messages notification option is OFF

Phone : iPhone 5
iOS version : 6.1.3
Situation:
All notification option for messages are ON.
Only "View in Lock Screen" messages notification option is OFF.
Action:
The user is in the messages app and then locks the phone pushing the hold button.
If a messge arrive there is no "preview" in the lockscreen (and this situation is correct) but no sound is produced (THIS IS A BUG).
If the user exit from the messages app, locks the phone pushing the hold button and then arrive a message there is no "preview" in the lockscreen (and this situation is correct) and a sound is produced (THIS IS CORRECT).
Thanks.

How to view source of email message without opening the message?

In addition to Verizon Email, I use Windows Live Mail. With Windows Live Mail I can view the source of a message without opening the message. This way I can find out if the message is legitimate or spam before potentially getting hit with malware from a bogus message by opening it. I can then set up a blocking rule so a bogus message from either the sender or the domain never appears in my Inbox. I have not found a way to do this in Verizon EMail.
Is there a way to view the source of a message without opening the message in Verizon EMail? Right clicking just opens the message which I do not want to do.

computerbug,
You can get a preview of your email. Log into the Verizon account and go to email > in the top you will see
Conversations
Contacts
Calendars
Settings
Click on settings < General settings > Display and you will see 2 options for email view.
(Preview is not available, if the resolution is less than 1024 by 768 pixels)

"ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION" -- Urgent request

Hi All,
We use Discoverer 3.1.36.06 and are in middle of a 3i to 10g upgrade for Discoverer for a data warehouse setup. Our databases where upgraded to 10g from 9i and now we get the error message saying:
"ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION"
I got some very helpful info abt the prob from the link below.
Discoverer 3i Issue with 10.2.0.3 - ORA-02248
We are mid way through the 3i to 10g upgrade and just need a quick fix for the next 2-3 weeks while the upgrade is finished.
Does any one know if changing the NLS language and applying the post longon trigger on Database id's would help in resolving this connection issue temporarily.
Any advice is deeply appreciated.
Thanks.
Edited by: Paul S on Dec 15, 2008 3:01 PM Corrected the link

Hi,
There are two types of trigger you can use: database triggers and discoverer triggers. You probably want to use a database trigger.
If you are using an APPS mode EUL (ie. logging using Applications username/passwords) then you will be logging in as the APPS database user and the syntax is:
create or replace trigger APPS.disco_logon_trigger after logon ON APPS.SCHEMA
begin dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''DD-MON-YYYY'''); end;
If it is a database EUL and the database user is gl_inq then the syntax would be
create or replace trigger gl_inq.disco_logon_trigger after logon ON gl_inq.SCHEMA
begin dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''DD-MON-YYYY'''); end;

See if you have any on-login triggers that could be issuing an incorrect alter session command. Also see if the error occurs as other users (if possible)
If this was SQL*PLUS I'd also check the login.sql and glogin.sql files but I don't think sql*developer uses those.

E6 "View interupted downloads?" message

Greetings,
Does anyone have a solution to the following issue with Nokia E6.
After closing we browser I get the message "View interupted downloads? yes/no". If pressed yes, phone opens browser and get nest message "Select to instal or open: content.bin, 0 kb" with button Hide. If pressed Hide browser opens on Ovi page, then if you try to close it you get again the same "View interupted downloads?" message.
Thanks,
Jonas

Just like I thought that I had already regged on the forum, entered a user name and made some posts - but it's asking me to do it again today - is how the E6 gets stuck on that dialog and repeats it over and over again..
So many small *problems* with the phone, interface and software (which keep stacking up, since the first day that I got it, just recently - as a present from my uncle); && apparently the forum software too, if I'm not mistaking, I don't really care about the phone and Nokia at this point at all (which is out of character for me).
Aaanyway (lol ), the download thingy; When the screen pops-up, hold the item(s) down on the touchscreen and there will be an option to delete it. Solved. =)
P.S.
There's no way to disable smilies on the forum, so they won't break the line-spacing (by being too big)?.. Ah, well.
Edit: Looks like it's my first post, from what it's showing.. Must've used a different email, the other day, or something. ;-$

Form6i connecting to DB11g, ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION

when i am try to connect forms6 to database 11G then receiving this error:
ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION ,
any one can help.
Regard
MK

I believe Forms 6i issues this:
ALTER SESSION SET REMOTE_DEPENDENCIES_MODE = SIGNATURE
See if it is valid in Oracle 11.
If that is not the problem, run your form with trace on, and view the SQL statements passed. From my notes, trace is :
In C:\Orant\Net80\admin\SQLNET.ORA, set:
trace_level_client = 16
then run the form. File produced is named in:
trace_directory_client = C:\ORANT\NET80\TRACE
trace_file_client = C:\ORANT\NET80\TRACE\cli.trc
Please report back what you find.

How to read data from select Options in another view without using context

I have 2 views, one for selection screen and another for displaying result.
In selection screen view I have define a select options with the help of webdynpro component.
Now my object is display result in result view based on entry of selection screen.
I don't want to do binding in context node, without that how I can read data of select option
in result view?
Regards,
Rasmi Ranjan Mishra

Solve by own.
If I define the Select options in component controller, then it will be global in nature. so i can get the value of select options
in another view also.

I am just finally posting a reply. Looks as though the sound card went out. I was told that I could purchase a new open and install myself. I did not do that, but rather my step-dad just decided it was time to buy a new Mac Mini.

Select Options in multiple views

I am running into a problem. I have an application with 2 views. I use select-options in both views, but with different fields. When I move from view 1 to view 2, it works correctly, displaying the select-options for view 2. When I return to view 1 however, the container still shows the select-options for view 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alex, please explain what you mean by 'clear the nodes'. All the setup for the select-options is currently done in the WDDOINIT in both views.
Sarath, could you please explain what you mean by 'changing the lifetime'. I've never heard this term. Where would this be done.
I copied the select-options code I had in my WDDOINIT into my HANDLEIN screen, and it dumps on the first 'ADD_SELECTION_FIELD' method call. If I add a
l_ref_comp_usage_so->delete_component( ).
before my
l_ref_comp_usage_so->create_component( ).
the selection screen comes up blank.
